    Apparently some people are not happy till we have removed everything that even resembles human body, well atleast in america.

    Now the target is not GTA, nor is it Leisure Suit Larry (altho we are coming to that I'm sure), but very harmless game of Sims 2. Yes apparently Sims 2 goes beyond games that have violence, well, abused kids proof that familylife is way more dangerous than a pistol :roll:

    Wow, some polygonal video game characters making out. I see about five couples making out every time i go on a bike ride.

    This is bullshit and it needs to stop.

    If someone made a movie with a sex scene, it would be rated R, 18 and up. But when someone makes a game with a sex scene (originally rated for over 17 year olds), everyone fucking shits themselves.

    ESRB is a bunch of PMS'ing feminist bitches.

    The attorney claims that if the blur effect is taken off the models resemble too much of naked people. My guess is that this attorney is a virgin

    Besides Maxis didn't put any genitals to the models, so even if you take the blurr effect off (again something done wit a mod and the developer can't be held responsible) you can't see anything you couldn't see by stripping a barbie doll. But the problem here is that the attorney says that EA nor Maxis are doing anything to prevent people from doing nude mods with models that have hoohoos and haahaas, to which to me is just plain retard, why should they prevent mod makers from doing this? If a mod maker does a mod it is the users decision to download the mod and apply it to the game, in no way there is children exposed to content they are not willing to see, or are porn movie producers responsible if a kid willingly downloads a porn movie from the internet and watches it?

    These days, people are not allowed to have free will.

    Barbie Dolls are more graphic than the Sims.

    This is getting ridiculous...

    can we go back to the days of just sueing mmo makers because the game got their loser kid addicted then the kid became even more of a loser because he never ever went outside again, and only ate pizza and drank soda for the rest of his life, which was cut short when he attempted to trade a very rare item for another rare item, but the other guy ripped him off, so he killed himself. yeah.

    Hehe, looks like I touched upon one of your pet hates there Kosmo I don't make a habit of nagging people about it, but once in a while it all builds up and I need a release I see it as a common courtesy to put a bit of effort into laying down your thoughts. Grammar is there for a reason - to make things easier to read and get the exact message across clearly. Choosing not to bother is showing disrespect to the readers. I'm hardly asking for 100% perfect grammar anyway, and I appreciate the fact we are a multinational community and people have different graps of the language, but a little effort goes a long way

    I understand, but what I have seen here is no where near what they have to stand on other forums from some people that really don't know any english at all, OR deliberately write like retarded monkeys with a brain tumor. And where I agree with you, correct grammar and spelling equals correct message presented. But then again, like I said, there are not that bad cases here in this forum, so you'd have to lack something if you didn't understand what the message is, and I think there are no such people here.

    Well I sure hope that I have the right to that aswell.

    The bottom line is that when people jab others about bad grammar when it actually is not neccessary, is just not that cool, if someone has continously bad grammar in his posts, then a word might be in order, but one post just doesn't justify that. I think you agree with me here. We all have our days that the hell with all kinds of rules and grammars and all that shit.

    If you'd like to make your points more valid in the future, maybe being vulgar is not the way to approach it? Furthermore insulting one of the more compitent, productive, assets to our community isn't appropriate.

    talk about blowing things out of proportion.

    Reno was just being a smartass, and Kosmo told him to stfu.

    Reno wasn't contributing anything positive to this thread, he just posted it to annoy people. So what kind of reply would you expect.

    Besides, both post weren't really malicious anyways. SO big fucking deal.

    Fritz is right really, however I can assure you that I didn't post it to annoy people. It was a bit cheeky I admit, but it was my first thought upon reading that "sentence". I completely agree with Kosmo that there are much worse places for poor grammar and most people here do put effort into their posts, but thats what makes posts that aren't well written stick out like a sore thumb. At the snarkpit over the years we've had many people join the site and post in really obnoxious ways (eg. all caps), but pointing out the fact that others on the site don't do that has tended to make them change their ways. I guess thats what I'm trying to do any time I mention people's bad/lazy posting habits, though I could probably have done it here in a more tactful and respectful manner.

    On Topic: I always thought the sims were a bit amoral. Monogamy means nothing to them; it's like a free-love commune.

    On Grammar: Call me prejudiced, but a badly constructed post almost always gets ignored or devalued by me. It conveys an impression that the writer isn't sincere about what he or she has written, that they don't won't take the time to ensure their words are easily comprehensible to others.

    People who write forum posts with grammar formed in such a way that it results in the post being difficult or impossible to read need shooting.

    People who pedantically correct or point out the flaws in others' grammar when the writings are still legible need strapping onto the back of a truck, reversing into an extremely thick oak tree twelve times, and then shot.

    Nuff of off topic grammar related jibber jabbering.

    Back to topic fo real: Sims 2 is definedly more racy than the original Sims, maybe it has something to do with Singles trying to usher itself to the market through an opening the developers saw, and like with other games, Maxis tries to pleace somewhat everyone.

    But what can I say, I just got insane grin when my John "the MAN" Shaft put his evil seed on three separate women, now that is what I call good host. Tho what I would like to see in Sims 3 or some of the expansion packs, would be religion, so that you could be just a part of something, or form a cult with followers, or be a fanatic religious zealoth

    And not to forget the redneck hicks, why can't I make a racist pig in Sims and live in trailerpark like good white trash.

    So, umm.. my point being, Sims 2 with it's so called nudity is nowhere near what it could be if it was a REAL life simulator, but it's far from it, more like happy life simulator. Your toon seems to always get a job, and eveyone around him is nice and even if people fight, they can be friends, lovers and have a baby in matter of days (yes I have tested this). It creates the illusion that if you work hard enough and long enough, you can buy a sports car and live in a palace.

    So now come to think of it, it actually IS dangerous to our children, not because it is mildly racy, but becaues it is totally bullhonkey, small kids learn twisted life lessons from this game and think it is allright to hanky panky with several different women, they learn that being a suspicious racist fucker (in strangerhood or what ever, the military guy) is funny.

    DAMN! I'm not going to let my kids play this game.

    It's like the crazy Moomin cartoon in the tv, they teach kids to speak the fucked up talk they talk, it's creepy.

    Well that was just my two credits.
